High/Max CPU frequency since 4.17 on Asus Intel i7 6700hq cpu

Hey

It's something like continuation of this thread.
On 4.16 everything is fine.

But on 4.17 and 4.18:

Right after boot CPU freq is at max.
CPU temp is high.
top shows:
%Cpu(s):  0.6 us,  0.5 sy,  0.0 ni, 98.7 id,  0.0 wa,  0.1 hi,  0.0 si,  0.0 st
so there is no hogging.
Governor is powersave.
CPU freq was checked with: i7z, cpupower, "watch grep \"cpu MHz\" /proc/cpuinfo" and conky

Setting something lower than 100 in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/max_perf_pct
works fine for present session; currently working with 75 - it's ~2,7 GHz, CPU temp is ~55-60 C

In my previous topic V1del suggested that it might be problem with asus-wmi and switching back to 4.16 while waiting for fix might be solution, but now it's 4.18 and the problem still remain.
